Glastonbury Nut Farm is in the The Times this morning!

A very important article by summarising the challenges farmers are facing amidst the current droughts and climate crisis. She also speaks to more resilient farming methods such as agroforestry and how we need holistic, nature based approaches to the future of food and farming.

It’s great to see featuring such important stories at a pivotal time when decision makers need to be urgently prioritising the health of our planet.

Our film The Nut Farmer of Glastonbury is currently on tour and screening dates are all listed on our website - link in bio!

- Researching soil health and agroforestry -

Hello! As some of you know I have been doing a research project at GNF for my masters dissertation. I (alongside my research assistant Fergal) have spent the last couple of months counting worms and taking soil samples from each field at GNF, as well as a nearby intensively farmed maize field. I have just finished up my lab work and I’m onto my data analysis and write up so I thought I would give you all a little update!

I’ve tested the soil for multiple chemical, biological and physical indicators of soil health, with the aim to investigate the differences between both the tree and alley rows within each field, and the differences between each field.

Even though the hazel trees were all planted at the same time, some fields of trees are a couple of meters high and looking great, whilst others are barely half a metre tall and looking pretty sorry for themselves. Over the next couple of weeks I’m hoping to find out a bit more about what differences there are in the soils that could help explain these dramatic variations in tree growth. I’m also hoping to explore whether the different land use histories can be associated with patterns within the soil data.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and I will give a full update when I’ve finished the write up. I would love to be involved with similar research in the future so do reach out if you’d like to discuss any projects you need help with!

Our team is still cooling off after all the excitement at Groundswell last week !

We all felt pretty overwhelmed with the new innovative technologies and inspiring stories that came out during the two days of talks and demonstrations.

We had our in-house experts Andrew and Laurie giving everyone in the agroforestry community a low down of the highs and lows we’ve experienced at GNF over these past few years - most notable being our struggles with drought and harvest mechanisation.

Let us know what some of your favourite talks were in the comments!

Last and by no means least, announcing our final Board of Nutters members Daniel Murphy Connor, Will Baxter and Stephen J. Crozier…

Following four years of apprenticeships and trainings mostly in the Irish agroecological space, Daniel’s work carries him throughout food, ecology, community and activism - primarily calling back to seeds, their stories and fair access to them. Along the way he has worked with organisations that focus on community and movement building - the main goal is for his work to contribute to just, fair and free lives for humans and non humans through the support of resilient, joyful and lasting food producing cultures.
He’s a big believer in the importance of intersectionality, festival culture and working cross sector and space to achieve our many goals as well as being an advocate for better working rights and inclusion for q***r and marginalised people in agriculture and rural spaces.

Will has worked with Andrew for several years on various building and growing projects at the farm. He likes to talk ideas and try to get some of them into practice. At the weekends you can find him in a field or a forest, generally looking for something to eat!

Stephen retired in 2022 after 40 years of working in the European food industry. He currently lives a life of self sufficiency with a passion for the propagation and cultivation of Pawpaws in the UK.

Revealing the third trio from our Board of Nutters…

Dr Lucy Williamson is an award-winning Public Health Nutritionist, Author and former Vet with 30 years’ experience across soil, livestock, food and human health. She communicates the evidence-base on soil to gut nutrition for optimal health. Lucy holds advisory roles to advance food system change working at the intersection of regenerative agriculture and human health. A former lecturer and ambassador for the Love British Food campaign, Lucy’s book Soil to Gut is published July 2026.

Jake Spooner has spent the early parts of his career focused Renewable Energy development taking projects from concept to energy generation. With a passion for organic farming and agroforestry, he is joining the Board of Nutters to bring his expertise in fund raising and project delivery to help support the expansion of all things nuts.

Tom McVeigh is an arable farmer from Suffolk and a Nuffield scholar studying walnuts and hazelnuts as commodity crops in the UK. His interest in nuts began searching for a high value crop, with a low labour requirement that would yield in a changing climate- without further degrading the soil.

They make up part of a new group of inspiring, thoughtful and brilliantly nutty people, who are going to help shape the future of our farm, and the British nut movement. We’ve chosen to draw from a diverse range of influences and experiences and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!
